We Knew You Wanted It—And So It’s Here! 
THE HOUSE & GARDEN BOOK OF HOUSES 
W E’VE so often suggested 
that you make a scrap book 
for your house—haven’t 
we ? That you cut out all the lovely 
bits of detail you came across—a 
garden wall, a homesome door¬ 
way, a gray sprite of a fountain— 
and paste them into a book of re¬ 
membrance. 
Some of you really got the book 
started, for you told us so. Some 
of you didn’t. 
Now—because we wanted all of 
you to have it—we’re taking our 
own advice and making the book 
ourselves. 
It shows what we think are the 
best things—the very best—that 
we’ve published for five whole 
years. . . . 
It begins with a real heart-to- 
pocketbook talk on house-planning 
by Richardson Wright, House & 
Garden’s editor. Then it plunges 
into all sorts of beautiful architec¬ 
tural detail—doorways, and win¬ 
dows, and fire-places, and chim¬ 
neys, and lattices—those little per- 
This Is The Book 
Here Is What's In It 
Examples of the best work of 80 
leading architects. 
A total of 310 illustrations. 
75 photographs illustrating 52 
large and small houses , together 
with plans. 
25 pictures of large and small 
garages and service quarters. 
180 illustrations of architectural 
details of exterior and interior 
construction work. 
All sections of the country are 
represented in the types of archi¬ 
tecture shown. 
feet things that make the house in¬ 
dividual. Not ten or twenty, or 
even fifty suggestions for that 
house of yours, but one hundred 
and eighty, covering everything in 
and about the home. 
Then there are fifty-two large and 
small houses with interior and ex¬ 
terior views—and—plans. These 
houses are worked out in varied 
materials and in all sorts of archi¬ 
tectural styles. 
And at the back—perhaps the 
most valuable feature of the whole 
book—there are the names and ad¬ 
dresses of the eighty architects and 
decorators whose work is repre¬ 
sented. This is in order that 
you’ll have no trouble in writing 
to them direct when you need big; 
plans and little bits of beauty for 
that house of your own. 
Now—that’s what the book is. A 
real book, by the way—not just a 
paper-covered magazine sort of 
thing. The price of it is $3. 
And—here is the coupon all ready 
for your name.

Sometimes it isn’t the big things that bother you in house plan¬ 
ning. . . . Wouldn’t you like to have it all settled about the 
clothes closets—including a closet for shoes? Fireplaces, too— 
they make the house alive. Wall finishes are important, and hard 
to decide on. And what should one do with the fioors? All these 
things, and ever so many others, are in House & Garden’s Book 
of Houses. . . . But you’ll see when it comes.
